I had bought this keyboard prior to watching this. It’s nice to get an endorsement for a good idea!

[@MrKKmusic]

Just what I’ve been looking for… many thanks!

[@MKMTG]

Thank you so much!

[@Crazy-Society]

Hi, how is it going with this Keyboard? Got mine yesterday. So far so good, but I am worried about this mini USB Connection which seems very flimsy. Thank you!

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

Ok, it’s either this or the Akai Professional MPK Mini Plus 37-Ordering tomorrow afternoon..Gonna sleep on it tonight…Thoughts?

[@MattKeilMusic]

Are you connecting this to an iPad? The iRig has a headphone port which is why I got this. If not, then the MPK has more features (but no headphone port)

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

@@MattKeilMusic Yeah that’s the thing, huh? W the Akai I’d have to have a usb hub. Thanks again for the feedback

[@jakea5500]

Great video! Would you suggest this, or the iRig I/O 25 key for a portable setup?

[@peterdvideos]

I just ordered this one. If you are a piano player get the 37 key. If your not, then the 25 key might be ok for creating simple lines. Just my two cents.

Hi, when I record a midi track using my Roland fp10, connecting it via a midi cable, the midi track gets recorded in the logicpro for iPad, however since I am using the sustain pedal on my Roland, the midi track has either too much sustain or if I reduce the sustain it becomes too little. Why doesn’t record just the way I use the sustain pedal?

[@MKMTG]

You’re better off contacting Roland and Apple directly about this as I don’t know.
Does it work normally when connected to a computer?

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

@@MKMTGGrest video .. Torn between this and the irig IO 49

[@MKMTG]

@@WyattLite-n-innI have the IO25. It really depends on if you want full sized keys or not. The I/O has a built in audio interface but only one channel which isn’t great. I personally prefer the iRig keys 2 for portability, and convenience.

[@WyattLite-n-inn]

@@MKMTG oh man, thanks for that..I didn’t notice the one channel thing..AppreciatedAnd I like mini keys

[@Jack-fs2im]

will it power up with a battery pack?

[@MKMTG]

Yes, but you’d then need to use the MIDI ports for connectivity instead.

[@Jack-fs2im]

@@MKMTG thank you very much for your reply.At moment I use a midi host from hobbycraft for my controller and looking for a 37 key midi that I don,t need to plug into the wall or use a pc.I have a Roland mc101 battery powered sound module.If my power bank worked on this I could play anywhere,yippe.Again thanx v much.happy new year
